I mean something like 10 year, 150 million with 70 million guaranteed. Something where Flacco gets the longest and biggest deal in history but where the Ravens can put the cost out long enough that it isn't a cap crippling deal so they can still have enough cap room to have a contender. And obviously that kind of a deal makes injury a big concern, but Flacco has never missed a game and it isn't like he has a RGIII, Kaepernick, Vick, etc. style of play.

Posted by moranis on 3/2/2013 7:33:00 AM (view original):definitely a huge contract, but at least somewhat defensible. I mean since Flacco entered the league, no QB has more wins, more playoff wins, more Superbowl wins, or more games played.

I guess we'll find out next season with no Ed Reed or Ray Lewis on D.

they didn't play half the year anyway. The bigger issue will be no Matt Birk and maybe no Anquan Boldin.

That half of the year they weren't winning. When Ray Ray, Suggs and Reed all played together, they had a major boost.
